Twitter removed President Donald Trump’s recent 2020 campaign video early Wednesday, after Warner Bros. Pictures said it filed a copyright infringement complaint for “unauthorized” use of music from “The Dark Knight Rises.”Trump’s tweet, uploaded Tuesday afternoon, includes a two-minute dramatic trailer-like video that uses music from the studio’s 2012 film “The Dark Knight Rises.”“The use of Warner Bros.’ score from ‘The Dark Knight Rises’ in the campaign video was unauthorized,” a Warner Bros. spokesperson said in a statement to HuffPost. “We are working through the appropriate legal channels to have it removed.”The clip shows footage of Democrats and other public figures that Trump has mocked or who have mocked him, including former President Barack Obama, former Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton and comedians Rosie O’Donnell and Amy Schumer. The video also shows images highlighting Trump’s meetings with North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un and Brazil President Jair Bolsonaro. Before Twitter removed it, the clip had racked up almost 1.8 million views as of Tuesday night. It now reads that “this video has been removed in response to a report from the copyright holder.”BuzzFeed News first reported news of Warner Bros.’ copyright infringement complaint.
